3 Wheel Buggies

Three-wheel buggies are elegant and sleek, with outstanding maneuverability. A lot of them come with a fabric sling seat with an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution, perfect for babies from birth.

The wheels are bigger, and they also often include suspension to allow for smooth movement over a variety of terrains. The only downside is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store & transport.

Stability

Three-wheel buggies offer lots of stability. They don't fall over more easily when going straight. They also allow you to maneuver faster. However, if you attempt to stop or turn abruptly they'll lose their stability and may tip over. To avoid this, certain manufacturers add an extra wheel to their three wheel buggy designs in order to improve the stability of the chassis.

The additional wheel can also help you tackle off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) as they are able to deal with off-road trails and other surfaces including sand, mud and rock. These models will also feature a lockable wheel on the front to increase stability on rough terrain.

The buggies are simple to maneuver and agile thanks to the 360o front swivel wheel. They'll also be able to pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as the 4-wheel buggies.

If you are looking for a seat made of cloth, these tend to be less upright in comparison to modular seats. This means that your baby's centre of gravity will be closer to the ground - instantly providing a smoother ride.

Popular for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a light travel system and pushchair to its range with the striking Citylife. This 3-in-1 model is designed for urban living and is suitable from birth with a newborn carrycot or infant car seat. It has four wheels and a unique pewter-black aluminium frame that the brand calls'slim and compact. It's only 2cm wide than the Babyzen Yoyo.

Folding

There are many 3 wheel buggies which can be folded compactly and fit into smaller spaces. Many of these buggies can be folded in one hand, and are easy to clean. Some of the tiniest models have a simple handlebar-height adjustment, whereas others come with adjustable suspensions and a 50+ UV canopy that can be extended. They may also have an enormous, spacious basket and a brake lever that is quick-release.

The best 3 wheeled buggy for taking on rough terrain

A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can be a bit stuck on tight corners. However, selecting a model with larger wheels both front and back can help. This makes it easier to push them over rough terrain and can aid in getting up and down high curbs.

The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its astonishing ability to move despite its three-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath has tested it with her infant and said that "it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles and dirt roads, gravel tracks and some hills."

Another alternative is the newest all-terrain 3 wheel stroller wheel buggy from Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer, called Stella. It's suitable from birth when used with the carrycot and is a slightly larger than the lighter 4wheelers (with a surprisingly slim 54cm wide frame) however it has large air-filled tyres. It also has 3 wheel pushchair with car seat (try what she says) recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold.

Its main selling point is its modularity - it's compatible with all of the brands' infant car seats and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-to-day or longer walks, using only the chassis as a base.

Tyres

The tyres on 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials, and each has its pros and cons. For instance, air-filled tyres provide a comfortable ride and manoeuvrability, while foam-filled tyres last longer. The type of tyre you select will be determined by your lifestyle and the place you live.

If you intend to travel on roads that are not paved or rough terrain often you may be interested in a three wheeled buggies-wheeler that has more robust tyres. You should also consider the type of suspension you require. A sturdy suspension is helpful to handle bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and increase the overall weight of your pushchair.

Another important factor to consider is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to understand tyre sizing is vital to ensure safety performance, durability, and performance. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing until you get the hang of it, you can understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of "185/70 R14 indicates that the tire is a 185/70 radial that has a 14 inch rim diameter.

In addition to being more durable, PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber ones. If you are unsure if the tires on a pushchair are made of rubber or PU, simply slide the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made of PU. If they don't, then the tires are made of rubber.

Suspension

The suspension of a three-wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. A large wheel that are air-filled, and can be locked for stability during jogging is also important as this will ensure that your buggy will be able to navigate off road surfaces easily.

Depending on the style of buggy you're looking for There are a variety of options that will fit all lifestyles and budgets. The Mountain Buggy, for example is the first all-terrain vehicle to be developed in three-wheel buggies. With an engineering and geometry that is perfect, their fabrics sling seat is tucked away within the frame, as opposed to on top like modular seats, providing an lower center of gravity and sitting at the perfect height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on the kerb pops.

Another option worth considering is the Urban Glide 2 from Thule that has a sleek design with a massive, manoeuvrable front wheel, excellent suspension, and an easy-to-use handbrake that twists. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it for an excursion through the rough terrain and found that it adapted to the terrain well saying that it 'navigates easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads dirt tracks, and makes a light work of climbing and descending kerbs'.

The Roma Atlas is another popular off road option and similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes in a range of colours to complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a large basket. You can also pick from a variety of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the stylishly designed Carrycot Plus(tm), which is a comfortable, flat mattress for babies and infants up to 12 month old.

Safety

Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely for it to tip over and is easier to maneuver. It also makes it more secure for your child since the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame.

A four-wheeler is also likely to have a lower centre of gravity and is therefore easier to lift up and over curbs. The sling seat is affixed within the frame, not over it as modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position and a lighter buggy that is more easily maneuvered.

However, if you'd like to go for an exercise with your child then a 4-wheeler may be more suitable as it has a suspension system that allows the front wheel to move independently of the rear facing 3 wheel stroller one which allows you to navigate rough terrains and bumpy roads - just bear in mind not all 4 wheel buggies are suitable for running (most aren't, such as the Phil and Teds). The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested independently on all terrains.
